Girls and boys’ teams do Clonlara proud

SUNSHINE was the order of the day as the finals of The Clare Champion-sponsored Cumann na mBunscoil hurling, camogie and girls’ football championships were staged at Cusack Park this week.

It was a particularly joyful day for St Senan’s, Clonlara, who were crowned Division 1 camogie and hurling champions.

The hurling and camogie finals were held on Tuesday and Wednesday. Clare inter-county hurler John Conlon, who recently graduated from Mary Immaculate College, Limerick, made the presentations.
